Post-Shadowbringers Speculation

[Edax]

If Emet-Selch somehow was ultimately successful and completed all rejoinings, wouldn't any Garleans that survived all the calamities be first in line for sacrifice to restore the ancients? Given that after all of the rejoinings that have already occurred that a trademark of the race is still that they have 0 capacity for manipulating aether, I reason that they are one of the post-sundering "creatures" and have no shattered ancient souls that would reforge like the WoL's.

I have to say, that is a pretty great joke to play on the Garleans if you are Emet-Selch. Line them up as fodder to ready the world for each rejoining(at least in the scope of the story since 1.0), then toss them on a pyre to sacrifice to Zodiark to bring back his real pals.

If that is Ascian humor, I respect it.

Emet doesn't view the Garleans (or mankind for that matter) as alive, but as aberrations. They would have no place in his new dystopia.

Zenos will certainly be more of a thing. I agree also that something has to come of the numerology, especially the number fourteen.

The Fourteen Legions of Garlemald

The Convocation of Fourteen

Fourteen Worlds (The Source and thirteen shards)

Fourteen Gods (The Twelve plus Hydaelyn and Zodiark)

Final Fantasy Fourteen

COINCIDENCE?

Possibly.

Would not be surprised if the game finally ends in the 14th Expansion (hopefully by then it may be during Season 2 storyline instaed of the current Season 1 storyline being the Zodiark vs Hydaelyn arc)

At some point we still have to visit the “new world” where the blue mages live. And that other continent that spawned the warring triad

I think it would seem a lot more significant if this wasn't a story with "Fourteen" in the title...

It could go both ways, I guess, but it feels more like "of course they'd reference the title number" than that they're building up to something.
